Eddy

HELLO I am a part of Team Bangladesh! I love this team and I am excited that my life is parallel with these amazing people at this moment and that we will go together to serve the people of Bangladesh.First let me introduce myself my name is Eddy Martinez and I am a Psychology major i have one more year left at Apu. After this i plan on doing something more globally minded or stay back and work towards my counseling degree. I have grown up in the church and this will be my first intensive mission. I am an Resident Advisor here at Apu and I am having a blast with it. I currently am just getting ready for this trip and finishing the semester off.

I am really excited for this trip and i pray that God will just use me to the fullest and that i will gain a globally minded perspective. On our trip we are working from poor people with a Mother Theresa organization to children who have been subjected to trafficking or are at risk. This definitely will be hard to see and experience on the trip. For me, to look into there eyes and see a reflection of pain and hurt that people have caused them will open my eyes to these things but it will also renew my perspectives. I want to gain a more self-less attitude and be able to speak for these people who cant. I also cant do anything other than be excited that i will spend this time with a wonderful team that is awesome and amazing in every way.

Prayer requests

• God will use us and be the center of our work in Bangladesh.
• We will be vulnerable and bond with each other as a team, so that no outside obstacles will hinder us from our work.
• We will come back changed and Globally minded.
• The people of Bangladesh that we come in contact with will be engulfed with Gods love and compassion when we are done with our work there.

With love,

Eddy
